Striking Needs

Besides Ayase Ueda, Japan lacks a classic striker, a towering option. But this time around, three profiles are lurking to be a possible solution.

At 29 years old, after a life within lower tiers, Yuya Yamagishi is becoming indispensable for a J1 team.

An absolute debut from a former Japan’s NT member, an old fella, and some returns: these have been the Top 10 moves in J3 last Winter.

Relegations have been introduced to J3 for the first time ever: it’s better to revisit what happened the first time around in J1 & J2.

After more than 700 matches in the Japanese pro-world, Nobuhiro Ishizaki is ready to give it another shot in Hachinohe.
